Immigrants in the country without legal status are not eligible to get federally funded health insurance. But certain migrant groups in the “lawfully present” category are considered authorized immigrants, including lawful permanent residents, or green card holders. Asylum recipients and refugees could have been eligible for Medicaid and Obamacare subsidies, but they lost eligibility under Trump’s spending and policy bill that he signed in July.

Democrats’ negotiation demands include reversing the Medicaid cuts and extending ACA subsidies that are set to expire in December, and to reinstate people who lost their eligibility but lawfully reside in the U.S.
